      Here is my method (I'm not good at making GIFs):

      1. Select all the main or big faces
      2. Copy
      3. Select everything
      4. Delete
      5. Paste in place
      6. Offset, offset, offset on the outside, all of them
      7. Clean up with CleanUp
      8. Select all- intersect with selection
      9. Select those big faces again
      10. Copy
      11. Select all
      12. Delete
      13. Paste in place.

      Seems complicated, but it isn't.

        The icon "F" of the Join Push Pull Interactive by Fredo makes the trick
        for 2 faces around a chamfer! πŸ˜„

        A sort of smart Push Pull! πŸ€“
        So all faces in addition to the 2 faces
        around the chamfer can have any orientations!

        Maybe 2 Guides lines are necessary for the intersection!
        because seems interferences don't works inside the plugin itself!

        Alas it's only 2 faces by 2 faces! πŸ’š

          Brilliant! Once again, creative thinking by the French! And the solution I was hoping for by posting this challenge. Much appreciated πŸ˜„

              I usually do the following:

              1 - select all;
              2 - remove big faces from selection;
              3 - group and delete group;
              4 - use tak2hata extend trim faces plugin;
              5 - then cleanup plugin if needed for merge faces and repair edges.

              Step 4 is the one that needs getting used to.

                it's not more little faces so the chamfer(s) ?
                No clean up necessary!

                Cool but again it's face by face! πŸ˜‰

                Here zoom is needing for more precision to click the face + segment! πŸ€“

                  sorry I fotgot about the generate faces plugin. I use the one from tools on surface.

                  And I really meant rwmove big faces from selection. They are easier to pick and if you remove them when you create the group, it becomes composed pnly of all small faces. Then, When you delete the group you delete only the small faces and keep the big ones.

                    Interesting. This looks like a good strategy for removing both fillets and chamfers from more complex shapes. My favorite so far!

                        Frenchy,

                        One of the reasons why I really enjoy using SU... the community. I figured by posting this simple challenge, I might be able to learn some new stuff-- and I certainly have! This is a really great workflow by JQL (thanks!) and here's a video of how it works.

                            yes, video is better thqn talk, however there are a lot of steps in the video that could be faster.

                            I'll try making a little gif after holidays
